										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto"><strong>Somate (SOMT)</strong> is a Web2.5-based creator monetization platform developed primarily to enable <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/artificial-superintelligence-alliance-fet-sees-sharp-price-surge/"><strong>AI</strong></a>-supported content creators—as well as all digital creators—to sustainably convert their creativity into recurring revenue models. Somate combines the user-friendliness of Web2 with the transparency, ownership, and value transfer advantages of Web3, allowing content creators to earn fairly without dealing with complex blockchain processes.</p>
<p dir="auto">Although the creator economy has now reached hundreds of billions of dollars in scale, the majority of this value is still controlled by centralized platforms, with creators accessing only a limited portion of the value they generate. Somate aims to transform this structure by offering a next-generation infrastructure.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Current Problems in the Creator Economy</h2>
<p dir="auto">While <strong><a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/japan-pushes-crypto-into-traditional-finance-2026-digital-era/">digital</a> </strong>content creation is growing rapidly on a global scale, existing monetization models present serious structural issues for creators.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Core Problems of Web2 Platforms</h3>
<p dir="auto">In traditional content platforms:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Platform commissions range from 30% to 50%</li>
<li>Revenue and visibility are controlled by algorithms</li>
<li>Creators have limited control over their own audiences</li>
<li>Global payment infrastructure is problematic in many countries</li>
<li>Content and earnings are platform-dependent with no portability</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This situation makes creators dependent on platform policies and centralized structures.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-191520 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/somate-SMT-1.png" alt="" width="1347" height="609" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">Failures of Pure Web3 Models</h3>
<p dir="auto">Although Web3-based alternatives theoretically offer ownership and freedom, in practice they face the following issues:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Wallet, gas fee, and network complexity</li>
<li>Speculation-focused token models</li>
<li>Low user adoption</li>
<li>Weak income stability for content creators</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Somate aims to fill the gap between these two extreme approaches.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Somate (SOMT) Web2.5 Approach</h3>
<p dir="auto">Somate positions itself as neither fully Web2 nor pure Web3. The platform’s core philosophy is to restore ownership to creators without compromising ease of use.</p>
<p dir="auto">For this reason, Somate:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Operates with a Web2 interface</li>
<li>Processes payments quickly and at low cost off-chain</li>
<li>Moves ownership, governance, and long-term value elements to the blockchain layer</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This hybrid structure enables mass adoption while preserving the transparency and fair value sharing provided by Web3.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Somate (SOMT) Vision and Mission</h2>
<p dir="auto">Vision: To build a fair, transparent, and community-governed global creator economy.</p>
<p dir="auto">Mission: To create an ecosystem that enables content creators to:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Achieve sustainable income</li>
<li>Grow independently from platforms</li>
<li>Become true owners of their digital assets</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Somate is not merely a content platform; it is a comprehensive creator ecosystem that will decentralize over time.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-191523 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/somate-SMT-2.png" alt="" width="360" height="579" /></p>
<h2 dir="auto">Somate (SOMT) Platform Architecture</h2>
<p dir="auto">The Somate infrastructure consists of three main layers:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>
<p dir="auto">Application Layer (Web2 Experience) This is the layer where users directly interact and includes:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Creator dashboard</li>
<li>Subscription and donation system</li>
<li>Affiliate infrastructure</li>
<li>Analytics tools</li>
<li>Content storage management</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Users can use the platform without any crypto knowledge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Transaction Layer (Off-Chain)</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Fast payment processing</li>
<li>Low cost</li>
<li>Subscription collection</li>
<li>Balance tracking</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This structure ensures scalability and smooth user experience.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Blockchain Layer (Web3)</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>SOMT token usage</li>
<li>Verification of storage levels</li>
<li>Withdrawal transactions</li>
<li>Future DAO governance</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This layer provides long-term ownership and transparency.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<h2 dir="auto">What is the Somate (SOMT) Token?</h2>

<ul dir="auto">
<li>Creator storage levels</li>
<li>Withdrawal authorization</li>
<li>Reward and airdrop mechanisms</li>
<li>Access to ecosystem services</li>
<li>Future governance (DAO)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">The token is directly integrated into platform usage.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Creator Storage Levels and SOMT</h2>
<p dir="auto">In Somate, content creators gain storage and transaction privileges based on the amount of SOMT they hold.</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Level 1:
<ul dir="auto">
<li>1 GB storage</li>
<li>No SOMT required</li>
<li>No withdrawals</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Level 2:
<ul dir="auto">
<li>3 GB storage</li>
<li>500 SOMT</li>
<li>No withdrawals</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Level 3:
<ul dir="auto">
<li>7 GB storage</li>
<li>2,000 SOMT</li>

<ul dir="auto">
<li>15 GB storage</li>
<li>5,000 SOMT</li>
<li>Withdrawals active</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">The level must be maintained by holding the required SOMT balance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="998" data-end="1358"><strong>YouTube</strong> has taken a notable step by adding a new payment option for U.S. content creators. The platform now allows creators to receive earnings in PayPal’s dollar-backed stablecoin, <strong>PYUSD</strong>. This move reflects the growing maturity of stablecoin infrastructure and offers creators faster settlements, lower transaction friction, and broader financial flexibility.</p>
<h2 data-start="1360" data-end="1391">How PYUSD Integration Works</h2>
<p data-start="1393" data-end="1634"><a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/pyusd-stablecoin-to-a-new-blockchain-network/">PayPal’s</a> PYUSD payout feature, introduced in the third quarter, has been integrated into YouTube’s payment system. YouTube continues to operate in fiat currency with PayPal, while PayPal converts payouts into PYUSD for creators who opt in.</p>
<p data-start="1636" data-end="1896">PayPal’s head of crypto, May Zabaneh, confirmed that U.S.-based creators can now choose to receive their revenue shares in PYUSD. Zabaneh explained, “Our advantage is that YouTube doesn’t have to handle cryptocurrencies directly; we eliminate that complexity.”</p>
<h2 data-start="1898" data-end="1949">Regulatory Steps Accelerate Stablecoin Adoption</h2>
<p data-start="1951" data-end="2321">Regulatory clarity in the U.S. plays a key role in stablecoin adoption. The GENIUS Act, signed by Donald Trump, provides a federal framework for stablecoins and boosts institutional confidence. Rohan Kohli, chief risk and compliance officer at Bastion, commented, “This clarity is the foundation we’ve long awaited for a thriving, stablecoin-powered financial system.”</p>
<p data-start="2323" data-end="2621">Despite cautious sentiment among Myriad Markets users, who predict stablecoin capitalization may not surpass $360 billion by February, the total market has already reached over $313 billion. PYUSD has steadily expanded since its launch in 2023, gaining deeper integration across PayPal’s ecosystem.</p>
<h2 data-start="2623" data-end="2652">What YouTube’s Move Means</h2>
<p data-start="2654" data-end="3097">With PYUSD included in daily payments, users can store the token in PayPal and Venmo, spend at supported merchants, or pay suppliers in small and medium-sized businesses. The YouTube integration effectively reaches millions of creators who prefer holding dollar-denominated stablecoins over traditional bank payouts. Google has also tested PYUSD payments via Google Cloud for two customers, showing openness to on-chain settlement solutions.</p>
<p data-start="3099" data-end="3161">The new payment model provides tangible benefits for creators:</p>
<ul data-start="3163" data-end="3381">
<li data-start="3163" data-end="3192">
<p data-start="3165" data-end="3192">Faster payment processing</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3193" data-end="3219">
<p data-start="3195" data-end="3219">Reduced banking delays</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3220" data-end="3273">
<p data-start="3222" data-end="3273">Frictionless solutions for international creators</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3274" data-end="3325">
<p data-start="3276" data-end="3325">Increased awareness and adoption of stablecoins</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3326" data-end="3381">
<p data-start="3328" data-end="3381">Expanded access to PayPal’s on-chain infrastructure</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3383" data-end="3665">YouTube’s PYUSD integration allows millions of creators to access crypto-based payment options, enhancing both the platform’s revenue infrastructure and digital financial tools. This development underscores the growing interest of Big Tech in tokenization and stablecoin adoption.</p>

The new policy focuses on content that links video game skins, cosmetic items, and NFTs to gambling platforms.</p>
<p data-start="650" data-end="963">The crypto gaming community expressed concern after reports suggested YouTube would expand its “items with monetary value” policy. A YouTube spokesperson clarified that in-game earnings or <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/?s=nft"><strong>NFT</strong></a> discussions will not be subject to the ban. This reassurance comes as a relief for crypto and gaming content creators.</p>
<h3 data-start="970" data-end="1011">Crypto Gaming Content Is Not Banned</h3>
<p data-start="1013" data-end="1303">The update specifically targets content directing users to gambling sites. General gaming experiences or crypto gaming videos remain unaffected. For example, loot box openings in Counter-Strike 2 are sometimes compared to gambling, but such content will not be prohibited by the platform.</p>
<p data-start="1305" data-end="1521">Crypto creator Gorilla noted that NFT and meme coin trading can be perceived as “gambling” due to their volatility. However, YouTube’s goal is only to restrict gambling sites and sponsors, not crypto gaming itself.</p>
<p data-start="1305" data-end="1521"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-56220 size-full" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/you-tube.jpg" alt="" width="922" height="279" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/you-tube.jpg 922w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/you-tube-300x91.jpg 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/you-tube-768x232.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px" /></p>
<h3 data-start="1528" data-end="1569">The Reason Behind the Policy Update</h3>
<p data-start="1571" data-end="1852">The update comes in response to the growing sponsorship of gambling sites among content creators. These sites often reward users with not only cash but also crypto tokens and NFTs. YouTube aims to protect viewers from such redirects while maintaining a safe platform environment.</p>
<p data-start="1854" data-end="2190">According to recent data, global interest in crypto gaming and NFT content has increased by 35% over the past 12 months. Additionally, the ability to sell in-game items for real money or cryptocurrency significantly impacts user behavior. Clear limitations from YouTube provide transparency and security for both creators and viewers.</p>
<h3 data-start="2197" data-end="2223">Updated Policy Scope</h3>
<ul>
<li data-start="2227" data-end="2271">Promotion or referral to gambling websites</li>
<li data-start="2274" data-end="2346">Offering video game skins or cosmetic items through gambling platforms</li>
<li data-start="2349" data-end="2393">Gambling sites giving NFT or token rewards</li>
<li data-start="2396" data-end="2463">General discussions about crypto gaming or NFTs remain unaffected</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto"><strong>Decentralized Social (DESO)</strong> is a layer-1 blockchain specifically designed to support <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/will-ethereum-fall-due-to-social-media/"><strong>social media</strong></a> and <strong><a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wlfi-expands-its-usd1-loyalty-program-to-the-defi-ecosystem/">DeFi</a> </strong>applications. DeSo carries a vision of a creator-focused, user-owned open internet where millions of developers can build on top of each other. The DESO token serves as the network&#8217;s native currency to cover transaction fees and is used for staking in the Revolution Proof of Stake consensus.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">What is Decentralized Social (DESO)?</h3>
<p dir="auto">The DeSo blockchain was built from scratch to power storage-intensive applications. Posting a 200-character &#8220;Tweet&#8221; on Ethereum costs over $100, on Solana over $2; but on DeSo, this cost is one ten-thousandth of a cent. The same advantage applies to financial content; for example, storing a limit order. This storage superiority gives DeSo the ability to combine social content with crypto for the first time and develops DeFi primitives.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179840 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-6.png" alt="" width="700" height="199" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">Centralization of Social Media</h3>
<p dir="auto">Today, social media is more centralized than the pre-Bitcoin financial sector. A handful of private companies control public discourse and reap monopoly profits from the content created. Content creators, due to the old ad-focused model, receive low pay, low engagement, and are deprived of monetization.</p>
<p dir="auto">The ad model forces platforms to keep content in walled gardens; external developers are prevented from innovating or building apps. Users and creators are forced to use apps controlled by these companies. The problem stems from user data and content being privately owned by a handful of companies; it is not a public utility open to access.</p>
<p dir="auto">Only these companies can build competitive feeds, develop new features, and monetize content – even though the content is not theirs. The cycle works like this: Users use these apps due to content monopoly, creators provide content for reach, companies grow stronger against creators and society.</p>
<p dir="auto">These companies monopolize the private content pool with global network effects. Combining content in a single pool is valuable for curation, but a central gatekeeper manages the pool. The solution is to shift network effects to a public content pool that no entity controls.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179838 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-4.png" alt="" width="669" height="299" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">What Does DESO Aim For?</h3>
<p dir="auto">All problems can be solved by decentralizing social media just as Bitcoin and Ethereum decentralized finance. Bitcoin disrupted finance by storing transactions in a non-monopolizable public ledger; this technology can be scaled for the first time to operate social networks.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bitcoin and Ethereum showed that dominant platforms can be built around open code and data. This open model is disrupting financial institutions; now it can disrupt social media giants and ad models.</p>
<p dir="auto">If we put social media content on a public blockchain, we can rival and surpass the economies of scale created by traditional giants. We solve the collective action problem among independent publishers; individual rational contributions create a global shared pool, intermediaries cannot be removed, and no single company controls it.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Ultimate Vision</h3>
<p dir="auto">A post uploaded to Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter belongs to those companies; not the creator. Monetization mostly goes to the companies. DeSo stores all data on a public blockchain; anyone can run a node exposing their own curated feed.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179833 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-1.png" alt="" width="1155" height="232" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">Future &#8220;Curator&#8221; Economy</h3>
<p dir="auto">Vertical players can curate their own feeds. For example, ESPN runs a node for sports content, Politico for political content. Since DeSo is open source, the user interface is customizable, algorithms adapt to the target audience.</p>
<p dir="auto">This enables a transition from a world where a few giants control dominant feeds to thousands of focused feeds. Storing data on a public blockchain makes it possible for an engineer to build a competitive social media experience with existing incumbents; it lowers entry barriers.</p>
<p dir="auto">Existing publishers can easily spin up social apps as adjacency to their core business; upstarts innovate on equal footing with megacorps. Today, a competitive social app requires a billion-user data moat.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179832 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso.png" alt="" width="1157" height="235" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">How Do Nodes Work?</h3>
<p dir="auto">Anyone running a node contributes data to the global profile, post, follow pool. A post or like on the ESPN node can surface in the Politico feed. A post from China appears on an American node.</p>
<p dir="auto">With each node, more content is added to the global pool, every node on the network becomes stronger and more engaging. DeSo solves the collective action problem among independent publishers: Instead of contributing to a private pool not aligned with megacorp interests, they contribute to a public pool no one controls, cannot be disintermediated.</p>
<p dir="auto">Data transforms from heavily guarded private source to globally accessible utility. Publishers have strong incentives to contribute data to the blockchain; top creators do not want to publish on closed platforms, because by publishing posts to the blockchain, they instantly reach every node/feed on the internet.</p>
<p dir="auto">Creators gain unprecedented reach and direct relationships with followers. Reach is one side; monetization is the other.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-179836 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-2.png" alt="" width="624" height="252" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">Future &#8220;Creator&#8221; Economy</h3>
<p dir="auto">Social tokens, social NFTs, and social tipping are categories pioneered by DeSo that change creator monetization; but it&#8217;s just the beginning. Since DeSo is money-native and open source, anyone can build apps on DeSo to experiment with new monetization paths.</p>
<p dir="auto">For example, a major creator wants to offer monthly subscriptions for premium content. One person building the feature on the internet is enough; the entire DeSo app ecosystem instantly accesses it. Like paying for reposts or message replies in the same inbox.</p>
<p dir="auto">The best machine learning researchers for spam or harmful content detection build solutions on the full data firehose without permission.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Future of Open Standards</h3>
<p dir="auto">The DeSo blockchain is an open protocol the world can collaboratively build; it unlocks creator potential, brings competition and innovation to social media. Since it&#8217;s money-native, new signals emerge for effective content ranking. Bitclout.com&#8217;s first experiment was ranking comments by the commenter&#8217;s social token price.</p>
<p dir="auto">This simple mechanism produces competitive results with centralized platforms. Ranking messages by coin price reduces influencer spam; unique to DeSo apps. When the world builds on DeSo, what can be done with the &#8220;$DESO Signal&#8221; is just the beginning.</p>
<p dir="auto">DeSo was designed from scratch to keep system incentives decentralized in the long term. Creators have strong incentives to post content directly to the blockchain. Developers cannot lose data or API access; when they run a node, all data is already in their hands.</p>
<p dir="auto">Traditional social media companies start open for network effects, close access once they gain a data moat. DeSo becomes an enduring positive force for humanity; it brings competition and innovation to the internet. The internet started decentralized; now it&#8217;s concentrated and innovation is hard. The pendulum will permanently swing back to decentralization; we can all be part of it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Next-generation applications the world can collaboratively build unlock the full potential of human ingenuity.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-179837 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-3.png" alt="" width="649" height="212" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">DESO Tokenomics</h3>
<ul>
<li dir="auto">Total Supply: 10.8 M (excluding stake rewards)</li>
<li dir="auto">Burn: 100% of transaction fees burned, DESO becomes scarcer as transactions increase</li>
<li dir="auto">Stake: Secures nodes with Revolution PoS, 20% APY (variable)</li>
<li dir="auto">Inflation: Short-term, decreases over time, deflationary</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Initial Distribution</p>
<ul>
<li dir="auto">77%: Bonding Curve (2021, $0.50 → $180, 5k BTC)</li>
<li dir="auto">20%: Core Team</li>
<li dir="auto">3%: Proof of Work mining</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">DESO Sinks</p>
<p dir="auto">Openfund &amp; Focus: their tokens purchased only with DESO</p>
<p dir="auto">No Equity</p>
<ul>
<li dir="auto">No equity ever sold</li>
<li dir="auto">No locked tokens</li>
<li dir="auto">Team = bought at same price as everyone</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="auto">BMF: Burn-Maximizing Fee Mechanism</h3>
<p dir="auto">Unlike other blockchains, fees are maximally burned; network value accrues to DESO, transaction ordering and validator incentives are not disrupted.</p>
<p dir="auto">High level: Validators paid fee log, remainder burned. 2x fee linearly increases validator reward. High fee incentivizes block placement, validators do not take lion&#8217;s share. Validators operate with commission on delegated stake.</p>
<p dir="auto">Full system in open source code. Ethereum MEV not optimized; Solana 50% blind burn. DeSo fee burning and validator reward designed from ground up; minimize long-term operating cost, max fee burn.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179839 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-5.png" alt="" width="670" height="283" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">DeSo Governance</h3>
<p dir="auto">Changes occur with Revolution Proof of Stake upgrades. Anyone submits upgrades to open source code; 2/3 stake-weighted validators upgrade before block height for it to pass. Like Ethereum; major economic player oversight.</p>
<p dir="auto">Impossible without upgrade; 100% open source, no one owns more than 20% DESO.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Decentralized Social Investors</h3>
<p dir="auto">Total $200 million raised. DeSo is building the future of social media with support from the world&#8217;s most prestigious crypto funds.</p>
<p dir="auto">Level: Coinbase Ventures, a16z crypto, Polychain, Pantera, Sequoia Level: Arrington Capital, Hack VC, Distributed Global, Blockchain.com Level: Blockchange Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, Social Capital Level: TQ Ventures</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179831 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/deso-investor.png" alt="" width="476" height="376" /></p>
<h3 dir="auto">Decentralized Social Team</h3>
<p dir="auto">Founded by Nader Al-Naji in 2019, DeSo was bootstrapped entirely with own resources. The core team grows the project with open source and decentralized vision.</p>
<ul>
<li dir="auto">Nader Al-Naji – Founder &amp; Visionary</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Coffeezilla</strong> called for an end to the spread of misinformation about <strong>Hailey Welch</strong>&#8216;s <strong>HAWK memecoin</strong> launch.</p>
<p><strong>YouTube</strong> researcher <strong>Stephen Findeisen</strong>, known as &#8220;Coffeezilla,&#8221; called for an end to the spread of misleading headlines about viral influencer Hailey Welch (also known as &#8220;Hawk Tuah&#8221;) and her controversial HAWK memecoin launch in an X post on December 6 to his 638,900 followers.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Can yall stop these insane headlines. She didn’t rug for 500M and she didn’t profit $50M.”</p></blockquote>
<h2>CoffeeZilla: ‘Let’s stay to what we know.’</h2>
<p><strong>Coffeezilla</strong> claimed that the team behind the <strong>memecoin</strong> made a “presale of a few million” to strategic advisors who allegedly “sold early” before the tokens were “sniped.”</p>
<p>This statement came after the backlash on social media following <strong>Hailey Welch</strong>’s <strong>Hawk Tuah memecoin</strong> launch on December 5.</p>
<p>The newly launched token briefly pumped and then rapidly dumped after its controversial deployment, leading to allegations of sharp sales and insider wallets.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-33331 aligncenter" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tuahh.png" alt="tuah" width="394" height="596" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tuahh.png 394w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tuahh-198x300.png 198w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px" /></p>
<p>Since then, many speculations have spread online, from lawsuit rumors to claims of profits related to the memecoin. However, <strong>Coffeezilla</strong> stated that most of these are misinformation.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Lots to criticize here and I do, but let’s stay to what we know. Team made a few million,”</p>
<p>CoffeeZilla said while reiterating the “exact amount” is unknown. “According to Hawk’s lawyer she’s seen $125k and her tokens unlock in a year,” he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Coffeezilla Denies Lawsuit Claims</h2>
<p><strong>Coffeezilla</strong> stated that it is &#8220;currently unknown&#8221; where all the profits from the transaction fees and presale have gone. In the meantime, he mentioned that no legal action has been taken yet:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Oh and she isn’t being sued (yet) so literally everything in this post is misinformation.”</p></blockquote>
<p>These statements came after the U.S.-based <strong>Burwick Law</strong> firm suggested in an X post on December 5 that those affected by the launch should contact the firm to understand their legal rights.</p>
<p><strong>Welch&#8217;s</strong> most recent post on X regarding the matter, shared on December 5, included the message after she claimed to be &#8220;copying and pasting&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Hawkanomics: Team hasn’t sold one token and not 1 KOL was given 1 free token. We tried to stop snipers as best we could through high fee’s in the start of launch.”</p>
<hr />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve Chen, the co-founder of <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/mt-gox-transferred7-billion-worth-of-bitcoin/">YouTube</a>, is throwing his weight behind a memecoin project based on one of the platform&#8217;s first-ever cat videos.</p>
<p>The memecoin, aptly named Pajamas (PAJAMAS), draws inspiration from a video Chen shot 20 years ago. The video, featuring Chen&#8217;s cat Pajamas &#8220;playing and dancing to the tune of Nick Drake,&#8221; was uploaded to YouTube on May 22, 2005.</p>
<p>This video holds a special place in internet history, being among the earliest cat videos uploaded to the site. Chen, with an estimated net worth exceeding $1 billion, has expressed his deep commitment to the project.</p>
<p>He dedicates a significant amount of time, reportedly between 80 to 100 hours per week, to supporting Pajamas, which runs on the Solana blockchain. Chen&#8217;s involvement with the project began after being tagged by numerous users on X, prompting him to look into the token.</p>
<p>Since then, he has become an active supporter of the memecoin. Pajamas is just one of Chen&#8217;s many ventures in the technology space, which currently include an AI-based exchange-traded fund and investments in Taiwan-based startups.</p>
<p>Reflecting on his experiences in the Web3 world, Chen has expressed concerns regarding trust within the community. &#8220;Whenever I try to meet someone important or influential in the Web3 world, at least one person warns me never to meet or talk to this person,&#8221; he stated.</p>
<p><strong>Pajamas: A Testament to Chen&#8217;s Entrepreneurial Spirit</strong></p>
<p>Despite these concerns, Chen&#8217;s involvement with Pajamas highlights his willingness to embrace innovation and explore the potential of emerging technologies. The project&#8217;s success serves as a testament to Chen&#8217;s entrepreneurial spirit and his ability to identify promising opportunities in the ever-evolving digital landscape.</p>

<h3>Wozniak&#8217;s Battle Against Bitcoin Scams</h3>

<p>Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, has secured a notable win in his lawsuit against YouTube. The case centers on manipulated videos that falsely used Wozniak&#8217;s image to endorse a Bitcoin scam. This situation has brought to light the ongoing challenge of digital fraud and the duty of online platforms to combat such deceit.</p>
<h3>Ruling Reversal: A Step Towards Accountability</h3>
<p>A San Jose appeals court has recently made a pivotal decision. It reversed a prior judgment that had absolved YouTube of any liability. The controversy involved a video that misused Wozniak&#8217;s fame to trick people into a<a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/argentines-turn-to-bitcoin-amid-soaring-inflation-dollarization-wanes/"> Bitcoin</a> scam. This ruling challenges the previous reliance on a specific communications statute. It suggests that platforms like YouTube could indeed be responsible for fraudulent content exploiting manipulated images or videos.</p>
<h3>A Potential Shift in Legal Responsibility</h3>
<p>This ruling is not just a victory for Steve Wozniak but also a potential game-changer for video streaming platforms&#8217; liability. The lawsuit, initiated by Wozniak and 17 other public figures in 2020, focuses on the use of doctored videos. These videos falsely promised a Bitcoin giveaway to lure viewers into sending Bitcoin, promising double returns.</p>
<p>The appeals court made a critical observation. It pointed out YouTube&#8217;s role in verifying channels that were subsequently hacked to push scams. This action, or lack thereof, significantly contributed to the fraud. The court criticized YouTube for not removing verification badges from channels once they began to post scam content. Moreover, it noted that YouTube had even awarded a verification badge to one channel amid the scam.</p>
<h3>The Demand for Greater Oversight</h3>
<p>The court&#8217;s decision stresses the need for platforms like YouTube to actively oversee the content on their sites. Joe Cotchett, Wozniak&#8217;s attorney, highlighted this point. He stated the verdict sends a clear message that social media platforms must be responsible for their actions. They cannot rely solely on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act as a defense.</p>
<p>This landmark case might influence future legal standards regarding the accountability of online platforms for hosted content. As the digital world evolves, this ruling emphasizes the critical need for such platforms to ensure a safe and reliable environment for users.</p>
